Demolition in Owasso comes in two kinds. In the neighbourhoods it is concrete: a drive, a patio or a slab that has to come out. On the edges of town it is what the farms left behind: a barn, a shed or an old foundation on ground that is about to be built on.
Cracked or sunken concrete broken up, loaded and taken away.
Shed slabs, footings and old foundations taken out, including the part below ground.
Small backyard buildings brought down and cleared off the lot.
Old farm buildings and carports taken down and hauled off acreage.
Owasso runs along US-169 north of Tulsa and crosses from Tulsa County into Rogers County. It has grown quickly, and most of that growth went onto pasture. So the town has two faces. There are streets of houses with concrete drives and fenced back yards, and there is a ring of acreage where the last of the farm buildings are still standing.
Justin takes on both. This is concrete and small structure work: drives, patios, slabs, footings, sheds, detached garages, carports and barns.
The hard part of a tear-out in a subdivision is usually not the concrete. It is reaching it. A machine has to get between two houses, through a gate or a fence panel, and across a lawn that probably has sprinkler pipe under it.
Justin looks at the way in when he comes to price the job. If a fence panel has to come out, or the machine simply will not fit, you hear that then and not on the day. Once he is in, the slab is broken up, steel and all, loaded and driven off the property.
Graded subdivision lots do not have much fall, and water trouble is one of the things Owasso homeowners call about most. Concrete is often part of it. A patio that has settled toward the house sends rain to the foundation.
Taking the concrete out is the chance to fix the ground under it. The area can be reshaped so it falls away from the house before anything new goes down. If it needs more than reshaping, see drainage and French drains.
On the acreage around Owasso the job is more often a building. A barn nobody uses, a shed that is leaning, a carport, or the slab and footings where something once stood. These come down, get loaded and leave, and the slab can go on the same visit.
It is very often the first step toward a shop or a house. After the old building is gone the same operator can cut a new pad with the dozer. If the spot has also grown up in brush, see land clearing in Owasso.
A building needs its power, gas and water disconnected by the utility before it is touched. Buried lines are located through OKIE811 ahead of any digging, which Oklahoma law requires.
The locate marks the lines the utility companies own. It will not show private lines, such as sprinkler pipe, a gas line to a pool heater, or power run out to a shed. If you know of any, point them out.
Cities commonly ask for a permit to demolish a building. Call the City of Owasso before you set a date, or the county if the property is outside the city limits. A job that turns out to need abatement or a permitted demolition contractor is flagged at the estimate.
Justin does not pour concrete or asphalt. If a new drive or patio is being poured, he leaves the ground cut to grade and firm for the concrete crew. If you would rather have gravel, he builds that himself. See driveway installation and repair.
There is more detail on two other pages: concrete removal and tear-out and shed, garage and barn demolition.
Call (918) 240-3392 or send the form on this page. Justin comes to look, free of charge, and gives you a fixed figure that includes the hauling.
The rest of what he does in town is on the Owasso page. The main demolition page covers Tulsa, and there is a page for demolition in Bixby. He also works in Collinsville, Skiatook, Sperry and Catoosa. Every town is on the service areas page.
Yes. Justin takes out concrete and small structures in Owasso, on both the Tulsa County and the Rogers County side. He looks at the job in person and the estimate is free.
No. OKIE811 marks lines owned by the utilities. Sprinkler pipe, a private gas line or power run to a shed are not marked, so point out any you know about.
Cities commonly ask for a permit before a building is demolished. Call the City of Owasso before you set a date, or the county if you are outside the city limits.
Small structures: sheds, detached garages, carports and barns, along with the slabs and footings under them. A job that needs abatement or a permitted demolition contractor is flagged at the estimate.
Most jobs end up being two or three of these at once, and they get quoted together.
